OpenAI Agents SDK v0.8.2 adds Annotated[T, Field(...)] support in function schemas and exposes the agent inside ToolContext tool calls.

$ git clone --branch v0.8.2 https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python.git

$ git checkout v0.8.2

from typing import Annotated
from pydantic import Field
from agents import function_tool

@function_tool
def search(query: Annotated[str, Field(description="The search query", min_length=1)]) -> str:
    return f"Results for: {query}"

from agents import function_tool, ToolContext

@function_tool
def my_tool(ctx: ToolContext, input: str) -> str:
    agent = ctx.agent  # the agent invoking this tool
    return f"Called by agent: {agent.name}, input: {input}"

• ›Supports Annotated[T, Field(...)] syntax in function tool schemas, letting practitioners attach Pydantic field metadata (descriptions, constraints, aliases) directly to tool function parameters.
• ›Includes the calling agent instance in ToolContext during tool calls, giving tool implementations access to the agent at runtime.
